Method

1

Cut the apricots into small slivers. Melt the butter in a large nonstick saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion, rice, cardamom and salt and pepper, and sauté for about 8 minutes or until the rice is toasted.

2

Stir in the stock, raisins, almonds and apricots, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the stock is completely absorbed.

3

Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, season well, then serve garnished with fresh herbs.
